Curious on how the vacuum to the distributor is hooked up. Looks like the vacuum line goes to the inside. For these distributor, vacuum sourcedfrom the carb?

Looks to me like the vacuum line runs back and makes a curl by the side of the intake (where the extra throttle spring is hooked) and then continues up to the back of the carb.

And we need some pictures of the whole car.
